[[folder:Literature]]* Newspeak in ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]]'' is not only a Portmantitle itself, but is made up of portmanteau words like "Ingsoc" and "plusgood".* The titles in the ''CalLeandros'' series.* The first book of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', ''Storm Front'', was almost called ''Semiautomagic''.* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' as Animal-Morphers.* ''Freakonomics'' - pointing out unexpected (~= 'freaky' or "freak event") causes in the field of "economics"[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' shows have used Portmantitles from time to time, with a few of them throwing in extra double meanings:** ''Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman'': "dynamite" + "man"** ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' was supposed to be a combination of ''jū'' ("beast"), "Jurassic" and "ranger"[[note]]thus giving us "Jūranger"[[/note]], but because of the way the word ''jū'' was transliterated (as ''zyu''), the play on words is lost.** ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger'': ''kakure'' ("hidden") + "ranger"** ''Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger'': ''Oh'' (either, Japanese for "king" or an acronym for "overtech hardware") + "olé" (which becomes ''ohre'' in Japanese) + "ranger"** ''Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger'': "hurricane" + "ranger"[[note]]The title is also a roundabout reference to ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'' ('''''Hari''' Pota to '''Ken'''ja no Ishi'').[[/note]]** ''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'': ''abare'' ("rampage") + "ranger"** ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'': "magic" + "ranger"** ''Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger'': ''bōkensha'' ("adventurer") + "ranger"** ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'': ''go'' ([[OneTwoThreeFourGo "five"]]) + ''gō-on'' ("roar") + "ranger"** ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'': ''shinken'' ("true sword" or "earnest", depending on kanji) + "ranger"** ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger'': ''goseija'' ("planet guardian") + "ranger"** ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'': ''gōkai'' ("daring") + "ranger"** ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'': ''kyōryū'' ("dinosaur") + "ranger"* ''Series/{{Kikaider}}'': ''kikai'' ("machine") + "rider"* ''Franchise/MetalHeroes'' has also done this a couple of times:** ''Series/KyojuuTokusouJuspion'': "justice" + "champion"** ''Series/ChoujinkiMetalder'': "metal" + "rider" (a homage to ''Kikaider'')** ''Series/TokusouRoboJanperson'': was supposed to be "jumper" + "person" (i.e., Jumperson), but it got misspelled in the show itself.* ''Series/{{Manimal}}'': "man" + "animal"* The fans of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' have referenced one of Dean's favorite bands to create the name for his beloved 1967 Chevy Impala: the ''Metallicar.''[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]* Chiodos' third album, ''Illuminaudio'' (''illumination'' + ''audio'' - [[IThoughtItMeant not to be confused for anything to do with]] [[AncientConspiracy the Illuminati]]).* TheMarsVolta's album ''Amputechture'' is a portmanteau of "amputation", "technology" and "architecture".* Music/{{WASP}} album ''Helldorado'' (Hell + El Dorado).** Also the song "Revengeance" (revenge + vengeance) on ''Dying for the World''.* MichaelJackson compilation ''[=HIStory=]'' (his story + history).* Music/{{Overkill}} albums ''Horrorscope'' (horror + horoscope), ''Coverkill'' (cover + overkill) and ''[=ReliXIV=]'' (relics + XIV).** Also the song "Soulitue" (soul + solitude).* U.D.O. album ''Mastercutor'' (master + executor).* The band Music/{{Helloween}} (Hell + Halloween).* Music/{{Megadeth}} album ''Youthanasia'' (youth + euthanasia).* Music/HeavensGate album ''Menergy'' (me + energy).* Music/OzzyOsbourne album ''Ozzmosis'' (Ozzy + osmosis).* Torche album ''Meanderthal'' (Meander + Neanderthal)* {{Music/Savatage}} formed their name by compining their previous name Avatar with the word savage.* Used partly in the title of King's-Evil album ''Deletion of Humanoise'' (human + noise).* {{Lordi}}'s third album ''The Arockalypse'' (apocalypse + rock).* {{Sepultura}} EP ''Revolusongs'' (revolution + songs).* {{Skindred}} (skin + kindred).* "Weird Al" Yankovic's ''Alpocalypse'' (Al + apocalypse)* Digitalism* ''Fornucopia'', a fictional album from Music/GarthBrooks' ''In The Life Of Chris Gaines'', which is a portmanteau of "fornication" and "cornucopia".* Music/RedHotChiliPeppers' ''Californication'' (California + fornication)* Delirious?'s ''Mezzamorphis'' mashed up two song titles from that very album: "Mezzanine Floor" and "Metamorphis".[[/folder]]

[[folder:New Media]]* Most Wikis have names like this.** Foodista** A good portion of them are either "something + Encyclopedia."*** Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}*** [[{{Pokemon}} Bulbapedia]] - Bulbasaur + Encyclopedia*** [[StarWars Wookieepedia]] - Wookiee + Encyclopedia*** Wiki/{{Uncyclopedia}} - [[CaptainObvious Un + Encyclopedia]]*** Wiki/{{Conservapedia}} - Conservative + Encyclopedia.** ...And then there are the Wiki + Something"s.*** Wikipedia and all of its sister Wikimedia sites*** [=WikiLeaks=]* [[http://www.fullyramblomatic.com Fullyramblomatic.com]]* Parodied by LoadingReadyRun in ''[[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/444/The-Pub The Pub]]''.* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner:'' In the Strong Bad Email [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail203.html "independent"]], Pom Pom's indie film starts off with the name ''Meg + Chester'', which quickly morphs into ''Megchester, NY'', because it is "the city and state they are from". This is further simplified into City (Comma) State.* Website/{{Addventure}} = [[RoundRobin Add]] + Adventure[[/folder]]

[[folder:Real Life]]* Plenty of major American corporations have named (or renamed) themselves like this in order to look more "interesting" or "modern:" Verizon, Citigroup, and Microsoft are just a few examples.** Initializing and syllabizing corporate names became a popular trend in the 1950s and '60s. Instead of being known clumsily and stuffily as the ''Na''tional ''Bi''scuit ''Co''mpany, you could modernize and rebrand yourself as Nabisco, complete with a newly revised logo and matching modern font.** It's not just American companies either. British businessman Sir Alan Sugar's company is called Amstrad, which comes from his initials, 'Alan Michael Sugar' and 'trading'.* The Japanese language does this a lot, especially to loanwords. For instance, word processor becomes waapuro.** They do this because the language is syllable-based rather than letter-based - a portmanteau is the closest you can get to an acronym.* Urban planners seem to like these. "Metrorail, [=BosWash=], and "Suburbanization," for example.* This was also quite popular in Russia, such as the Komintern (for the Communist International).* The online event [=NaNoWriMo=], for NationalNovelWritingMonth.* [SitCom], [BritCom], and so on.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]* ''VideoGame/TheCombatribes'' = "Combat Tribe"* ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}'' = "Cry" and "crisis"* Famicom (Japanese version of the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem) = "Family Computer" (which is actually the console's official name* ''VideoGame/{{Guacemelee}}'' = "guacamole" + "melee"* ''VideoGame/{{Minubeat}}'' = "minute" + "beat"* ''{{Onechanbara}}'' = ''one-chan'' ([[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology "big sis"]], or "babe" in this context) and ''chanbara'' (sword fighting)* ''VideoGame/{{Parodius}}'' = Parody + ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}''* ''{{Pokemon}}'' was originally the series' [[PortmanteauSeriesNickname nickname]] in Japan, where it is known as ''Pocket Monsters''. It was adapted as the official overseas title in order to [[WritingAroundTrademarks avoid infringement]] on the ''Monsters In My Pocket'' toyline.** The SpinOff ''VideoGame/PokkenTournament'' is what you get when you combine ''Pokémon'' and ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''.* ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'' = "Police" and "Astronauts", although in this case "naut" is a legitimate suffix for an explorer, since there are also Aquanauts and Aeronauts.* ''Probotector'' = "Robot Protector" (''Probotector'' being the European version of the earlier ''{{Contra}}'' games on home consoles)* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'', which is actually a real word.* ''VideoGame/{{Recettear|AnItemShopsTale}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Chantelise}}'' are both combinations of the names of two primary characters, Recette + Tear in the former and Chante + Elise in the latter.* ''Runark'' ([[MarketBasedTitle Japanese title]] of ''VideoGame/{{Growl}}'') = "Rune" and "Ark"* ''VideoGame/{{Slydris}}'': Slide + ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'', with a dash of XtremeKoolLetterz.* ''VideoGame/{{Terranigma}}'' = "Terra" and "enigma"* ''VideoGame/{{MediEvil}}'' = "[[MedievalEuropeanFantasy Medieval]]" and "[[GothicHorror evil]]"* ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}}'' = "Car" and "Armageddon". Makes sense for a post-apocalyptic car combat game.* ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' = "Revenge" and "Vengeance".* ''VideoGame/TheatrhythmFinalFantasy'' = "Theatre" and "Rhythm"* ''[[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/rakugakids/rakugakids.htm Rakugakids]]'' = ''rakugaki'' ("doodles") + "kids"* ''Nyanpi'' (a game by Creator/{{Compile}} for the {{MSX}}) = ''nyan'' ("meow") + ''anpi'' ("safety")* ''Star Parodier'' = ''VideoGame/StarSoldier'' + "parody"* ''[[VideoGame/PowerInstinct Matrimelee]]'' = "matrimony" + "melee"* ''{{VideoGame/Nintendogs}}'' = "{{Nintendo}}" + "dogs"** Also used by the AlternateCompanyEquivalent ''Kinectimals'' ("Kinect" + "animals").[[/folder]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]* ''Franchise/DragonBall'' is sometimes spelled as ''Dragonball''* Fans often remove the space in ''Manga/DeathNote'', because there's no discernible space in the logo. As the label on the artifact itself will show, this is a mistake.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film]]* ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}''[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]* ''VideoGame/EarthBound''* ''VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}}''* ''Tokitowa'', the Japanese alternate title for ''VideoGame/TimeAndEternity''[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]* Music/{{Radiohead}}* Squarepusher* Music/{{Soundgarden}}* Music/{{Audioslave}}* [=MuteMath=]* [=MeltBanana=]* [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by [[Music/SigurRos Sigur Rós]], which just split "Sigurrós," the name of the lead singer's sister.* Pitchshifter* The Spacemonkeys* [=HelloGoodbye=]* Music/{{Deadmau5}}* Self's song "[=ILoveToLoveYourLoveMyLove=]"* Music/{{Nickelback}}* Music/{{Angelspit}}* Music/{{Silverchair}}* Foghat (Amusingly, they were actually named after a band member's attempted ScrabbleBabble.)[[/folder]]
